Patent GB-190816612-A (GB)
Title: An Apparatus for Automatically Stopping the Feed of the Roving in Ring Spinning Machines on the Breakage of the Thread.
Inventor: FRIESENDORP ADRIAN HENDRIK
Filed: 1908-08-06
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 16,612. Friesendorp, A. H., Oosterhout, D. S., and Schoemaker, G. F. Aug. 6. Delivery, stopping.-When a thread breaks, the tongue j connected with the thread-guide falls and separates the rotary rollers f, g, thereby releasing the weighted framework c, which carries the two back pressing-rollers. The frame c swings about its pivot e, and the back pressing-rollers, sliding to the bottoms of their bearings, nip the roving on the bridge-pieces c<2>, c<3>. The framework c may be operated electrically by reason of the thread-guide closing an electric circuit when the thread breaks and so energizing an electro-magnet v, which operates the stop-mechanism.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Typewriters
Filed: 1908-09-16
Granted: 1909-04-22
Abstract: 19,474. Underwood Typewriter Co., and Cooper, J. J. Sept. 16. Typewriters.-Figures, letters, &c. are successively impressed at each key operation upon a narrow ribbon of paper or tape, especially for preparing point paper used in setting up designs for weaving, in a typewriter in which the platen is fed in one direction only by means of the space-bar and not by the keys. In the form shown in Fig. 3, two sets a, b of keys and type-bars for printing numbers 1 ... 99 are provided. The keys of the two sets may be depressed simultaneously, the typebars being centred by a double guide d, c. A key for impressing a line or division across the ribbon between two successive figures is provided in the centre of the keyboard. A space-bar f operates a pawl which engages a ratchet-wheel p on the spindle of the platen e. The ribbon passes from a spool through a roller guide to the platen and is wound upon a spool w driven from the platen spindle through a friction clutch 3 by means of a chain z. When a number is repeated several times and it is unnecessary to print such repetition, the ribbon may be fed by operating the space-bar, or by means of a crank 4 on the platen spindle, the amount fed being indicated in this case by a device 5. In a modification, the ribbon passes horizontally across the machine over a vertical revoluble platen, the spools are arranged on a common axis, and the printing is affected sideways, a single type-bar guide only being required.

Abstract: 20,392. Callow, J. Sept. 28. [Cognate applications No. 24,826, A.D. 1908, dated Nov. 18, and No. 3860, A.D. 1909, dated Feb. 16.] Moulding dough.-Relates to improvements on the machine described in Specification No. 26,007, A.D. 1904. The dough is moulded between an endless conveyer 3 and a rotating cylinder 1 through which the conveyer passes. The return run 3<x> of the conveyer may pass through another cylinder, or in proximity to an external roller 2. A driven roller 8 is mounted at the base of the conveyer to prevent squeezing out of the dough, and a scraper 9 may be employed in addition to, or in place of, the roller. A basher 15,. Fig. 6, operated from an eccentric 18, compresses the dough between the trough and cylinder. The moulded dough portions are received upon a conveyer 39, by which they are carried beneath a hood 44, Fig. 7, and rolled up into cylindrical form suitable for making tin loaves. A fixed trough 12 connects the cylinder 1 and roller 2, being arranged in proximity to the conveyer drum 4. The cylinder 1 is mounted upon bearing rollers 33, 34 the former of which are formed with ribs 35 adapted to enter a groove 36 in the roller so as to prevent longitudinal displacement. As shown, the roller 2 may be tapered, and according to the Provisional Specification, the cylinder may also be tapered.

Abstract: 23,507. Harrison, R. Nov. 3. Impact-wheels.- The working-fluid is admitted and exhausted through passages formed in the rotor or casing and operates on vanes secured to the casing or rotor in an annular chamber surrounding the rotor. Fluid, admitted through a chamber g<3> in the hollow shaft c, enters the working chambers a<1> through radial passages g<2> and nozzles g formed in the rotor a. The impact of the jets on vanes d secured to the casing b operates the motor; when the fluid-supply is cut off in turn from each section a', exhaust is effected by passages e, f in the rotor, leading to an annular chamber i in the casing provided with an outlet h. The axial width of the rotor a is greater than that of the chambers a<1> to allow the inlet and exhaust passages to be constructed of the full axial width of those chambers. In a modification the inlet and exhaust passages (which may be rectangular or circular in cross-section) are formed in the casing, and the vanes are secured to the rotor. The number of vanes and inlet and exhaust passages may vary together with the position of the latter in the rotor or casing.

Abstract: 7413. Ward, F. E. March 27. Ornamenting. - Consists in ornamenting leaded lights by adding metal ornaments which are secured to the glazing-bars or cames or to the glass and extend either wholly or partly over the glass, being either in contact with the glass or supported above it.

Granted: 1910-11-22
Abstract: 27,068. Grinter, W. D. Nov. 22. Electrically-operated fastenings.-A lock-bolt d of a railway-carriage or other door lock is provided with a recess e<1>, into which a detent l is pressed by a spring. By reason of its bevelled end and the shape of the recess e<1> the detent does not prevent the lock-bolt from being shot or withdrawn until an electro-magnet j, controlled by a three-way switch in the guard's van, is energized and attracts its armature k secured to the detent, which is thus held in engagement with the recess. To prevent waste of current until an attempt is made to withdraw the lock-bolt by means of its follower g, a switch h within the lock casing is arranged to be closed bv the first movement of the follower. The locks on each side of a railway carriage B are wired to a five-wire cable C, as shown in Fig. 2, which also shows the arrangement in the guard's van A, in which v is a contact closed by closing the door of the guard's van, w the threeway controlling switch, x an alarm bell, and y an accumulator or other suitable source of electricity. If the switch w in on the contact 6, as shown, the doors are secured as soon as the door of the guard's van is closed; if on the contact 8, the doors are secured independently of the guard's door; and if on the contact 7, the apparatus is rendered inoperative. Fastenings operating signalling-apparatus.- If any door is open or the lock-bolt is not fully shut, a sector s, which is normally held up by the lock-bolt, falls and allows a spring contact t to fall on a plate q, thereby completing the circuit of the alarm bell x. Railway-carriage doors, fastening automatically. - In the Provisional Specification an arrangement is described, in which the switch operated by the handle is omitted. Current is, in this case, supplied by a dynamo on the carriage axle, and the detent l is secured as long as the train is in motion.
